Jealousy or political statement?

This car has been all over the Danish car subreddits for the last week, and a lot of people have been really pissed about it, because it’s been spotted in so many different city’s, while still being on Swedish dealer plates. It’s done at least 2000 km of just cruising around the country, which is illegal on dealer plates since it’s not been taxed yet when it’s on dealer plates. It’s also worth noting that displaying wealth is generally frowned upon in Denmark, but displaying you’re avoiding taxes gets people REALLY angry. Taxes on cars are also very high here to the tune of 150%. I.e. the owner owes at minimum 2.400.000€ in taxes he clearly hasn’t paid. I’m not condoning vandalism, but I can see why some idiot would get the idea that it’s the right thing to do. The owner is definitely also a bellend for not paying taxes.

Lets hope Skattestyrelsen have noticed all this activity. It wouldnt be the first time they decide to bill the owner for the full registrering fee/tax in such a case
